37 CLASS OF SERVICE COMMANDS
The commands described in this section allow you to specify which data 
packets have greater precedence when traffic is buffered in the switch due 
to congestion. This switch supports CoS with eight priority queues for each 
port. Data packets in a port’s high-priority queue will be transmitted before 
those in the lower-priority queues. The default priority can be set for each 
interface, also the queue service mode and the mapping of frame priority 
tags to the switch's priority queues can be configured.
PRIORITY COMMANDS (LAYER 2)
This section describes commands used to configure Layer 2 traffic priority 
on the switch.
Table 145: Priority Commands
Command Group Function
Priority Commands 
(Layer 2)
Configures the queue mode, queue weights, and default priority 
for untagged frames
Priority Commands 
(Layer 3 and 4)
Sets the default priority processing method (CoS or DSCP), maps 
priority tags for internal processing, maps values from internal 
priority table to CoS values used in tagged egress packets for 
Layer 2 interfaces, maps internal per hop behavior to hardware 
queues
